Is it easy to blank off a hot and cold water plastic pipe?

[ThinkAboutIt]

Hi,

I'm removing a sink and toilet to fit laminate under, the toilet has a valve to the right which I can isolate on, the sink does not. Can these plastic pipes be blanked off for a few days? How do you do it?

They are plastic with an extended metal cord section which connects to the tap.

I can turn off the water to the house but dont want to do this and leave us without watr for 2-3days.

Thanks in advance.

Is there anything I can get of the same idea but with a metal screw in as thats how the braided hose connects to the plastic pipe so I could just stop it there.

Thanks

I'm assuming the hose has two chrome nuts on the end (a thick one and a thin one where they join the pipe?

If so use these http://www.screwfix.com/p/stop-end-15mm-pack-of-10/93637.

Just leave the thick nut and olive on the pipe as it will be the same size, and there's no point trying to force the olive off.
